Authors: C.B.N. Oliveira, P. Falagan-Lotsch, M.G. Souza, R.P. Santos, F. Encinas, H. Teles, R.B. Lasmar, L.B. Duarte, J.M. Granjeiro and I.A. Penna
The aim of this study was to verify the association between the epidermal growth factor (EGF) +61 G/A polymorphism and the susceptibility to endometriosis using a case-control design study. The control group included fertile women without endometriosis and the case group included endometriosis patients. Polymerase chain reacti.. Read More»

GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms in endometriosis in women from Goi�¡s, Brazil
Authors: A.B. Frare, A.M. Barbosa, I.R. Costa, S.R. Souza, R.C.P.C. Silva, B.M. Bordin, C.L. Ribeiro J�ºnior and K.K.V.O. Moura
Endometriosis is a gynecologic pathology with a high prevalence and unknown etiology. Therefore, an increasing number of studies has been undertaken to search for associations between endometriosis and alterations or polymorphisms in candidate genes, including glutathione S-transferase mu 1 (GSTM1) and glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1). We analyze.. Read More»

Vascular endothelial growth factor gene polymorphisms contribute to the risk of endometriosis: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of 14 case-control studies
Authors: Y.Z. Li, L.J. Wang, X. Li, S.L. Li, J.L. Wang, Z.H. Wu, L. Gong and X.D. Zhang
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease defined as the presence of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis is a multifactorial and polygenic disease in which angiogenesis may be implicated. Angiogenesis is under the control of numerous inducers, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Many studies have reported that.. Read More»

RsaI polymorphism of the ER�² gene in women with endometriosis
Authors: R.C.P.C. Silva, I.R. Costa, B.M Bordin, C.T.X. Silva, S.R. Souza, C.L.R. J�ºnior, A.B. Frare and K.K.V.O. Moura
We examined the frequency of RsaI polymorphism of the ERβ gene in 54 patients diagnosed with endometriosis and 46 controls. Peripheral blood was collected from women undergoing laparoscopy with a confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis. Polymorphisms of the ERβ gene and p53 were assessed by PCR and analyzed on 2% agaros..
